Abstract:
Currently, all road construction works have no provision for the storage of run-off water generated from road drainage. This handbook then comes when road engineers have been trained and sensitized on the importance of safe disposal of run-off water from roads. Water from Roads as a handbook is expected to serve as a guide for road engineers and contractors who are involved in the design and construction of road drainage works.
The handbook provides valuable technological advice for harnessing road runoff water. This handbook provides all the technical information required for the design and construction of all the types of earth dams, water tanks and subsurface dams. Also the handbook contains information on run-off farming.
